H1Z1 - Zombie apocalypse sandbox from SOE

Some of the steam reviews are hilarious, or maybe I'm just overly tired:

Only $20 for epic H1Z1 desktop wallpaper?? Yes please! This is a steal!

For all you noobs who don't know how to play:
1) Start game.
2) Push Print Screen when awesome wallpaper image comes up.
3) Wait for game to crash.
4) Load Paint and ctrl+v
5) Save image.
6) Set as desktop wallpaper.

Your game is now complete!!! You're welcome!
 
Just played for 2 hours, its very good. Very hard and blows DayZ out of the water in terms of how far it has come along and how smooth it plays. However it feels like a completely different genre.

Its fun, its atmospheric and the zombies are solid and don't run through walls. Not encountered many bugs apart from I logged out of the server I was in to join my friends and haven't been able to get back in since :(
 
^Did you get in just via constant trying?

Good to hear some positive feedback, I expected worse.

No, I bought it the second it came up on Steam. It downloaded in 4 minutes and I got in straight away. My four friends took a little longer to download and only one managed to get in from constant trying. I have tried several times since and just get the G99 error.

I'm hitting the hay and will try tomorrow. All I will say is there is plenty of vehicles, weapons (guns inside police station) and the physics are amazing, especially when you run deer over. However, it is very hard and **** scary when you hear the wolves howling. I can see it being very difficult to meet with friends as half the time you haven't a clue where you are! That being said, there is nothing better than sitting in a house, doors closed and zombies trying to get in whilst its raining outside and you can hear it beating down on the roof.
